Protein Engineering: New Approaches and Applications
Conference - Chester, United Kingdom
Protein engineering has proved pivotal to our molecular understanding and adaption of proteins by allowing us to interact and manipulate the very coding sequence that underlies folding, structure and function.
Protein engineering is currently undergoing a renaissance with the advent of new technological approaches to address some of major emerging areas in the life sciences, including facilitating the interface with both chemistry and physics. Protein engineering will prove central to areas ranging from synthetic biology to bioprocessing to nanotechnology.
In recent years the traditional idea of simple site directed mutagenesis has been superseded through the developed of new approaches and technologies that have enabled the field of protein engineering to flourish. These new developments that include advanced computational design, development of new and useful biocatalysts, integration of functional biological parts with fabricated devices and construction of next generation biopharmaceuticals. Protein engineering also continues to provide valuable and fundamental understanding of natural protein construction and function that in turn will inevitably improve our ability to generate the next generation of novel proteins.
This meeting will assemble a diverse group of world-leading protein engineers who will highlight the recent advances in our current understanding of how proteins can be tractably manipulated towards an intended function either through rational design or directed evolution.
